This world-class exhibition is organised in partnership with the South African Institute of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (SAIRAC) and is Africa’s largest dedicated heating, energy, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HEVAC&R) trade exhibition, taking place from 6–8 June at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, South Africa.

Taking place once in every three years, FRIGAIR offers all HEVAC&R role-players the opportunity to experience the latest the market has to offer. Visitors to the show will be able to connect with over 140 local and international exhibitors, source world-class brands and products, view live demonstrationsand engage with leading experts for technical advice. Many new products will be unveiled and loads of prizes will be up for grabs in the various lucky draws taking place across the three days.

Visitors will learn about the latest industry trends and technologies, especially around the industry’s crucial role in the rapid development of eco-friendly, energy efficient and sustainable technologies for the future. This increasing drive towards efficiency has led to great innovation in the HEVAC&R sector and FRIGAIR offers a platform to showcase these new technologies and products to industry

FRIGAIR to present Africa’s first ATMOsphere event!

The first ever ATMOsphere eventon the African continent will be held during FRIGAIRin association with shecco, a Belgium-based company that has been active in the global HEVAC&R industry for over 15 years. Bringing further international flair to the expo and promoting the uptake of natural refrigerants in South Africa and beyond, ATMOsphere is firmly established as the world’s leading conference series on natural refrigerants.

Those attending can look forward to presentations by an impressive mix of both international and local experts. The opportunity is ripe for natural refrigerants to take centre stage in global efforts to reduce the climate impact of HEVAC&R technologies.
